Mano Menezes talks about Fluminense's risk of being relegated in the Brasileirão

This Thursday (05), Fluminense beat the already relegated Cuiabá by the score of 1-0 with a goal from Serna at Maracanã, which was literally taken over by the tricolor fans, who bought more than 45 thousand tickets for this duel, valid for the 37th and penultimate round of Brasileirão 2024. Despite the victory, Flu was unable to get rid of relegation with one round in advance, this is because RB Bragantino, also threatened, won the Atlético-PR, which, like these two, is at risk, besides them, Atlético-MG is another concerned, between a rock and a hard place, and could even qualify for the Copa Sudamericana, in this way, the four clubs are with chances of falling.

After the match against Cuiabá, Fluminense coach Mano Menezes spoke about his team's commitment, as it depends only on itself to escape in the last round at Allianz Parque against Palmeiras, who in turn, are candidates for the title.

What the coach said

Mano Menezes reported that the pressure on the team is obvious, greater than that of Palmeiras, who are fighting to be champions, aware that Flu only depends on their own strength to remain in the elite: “Only we can resolve the situation there on Sunday. Pressure is inherent to the situation, it is part of this situation, it is the greatest of all. I would say that it is even bigger than playing to be a champion, because playing to be a champion is the pinnacle.”said the tricolor commander.

Confrontations of threatened others

In the last round of Brasileirão 2024, RB Bragantino hosts Criciúma at Nabi Abi Chedid. Atlético-MG and Athletico-PR face each other directly at Arena MRV.

All of these games take place on the same day and time as the clash between Palmeiras and Fluminense, including the other duels.

Scenarios that save Fluminense from falling

A draw with Palmeiras is enough for Flu to remain in the elite. If they lose, it depends on RB Bragantino not getting a victory against Criciúma or on Athletico-PR losing against Galo.
